Our family had the privilege of enjoying another beach vacation at our favorite family vacation spot--Surfiside Beach! As always, we enjoyed our time together as a family. We decided to spend as much time on the beach as possible this year, so we avoided many inland activities. We have been going to this particular condo for years now and amazingly see familiar faces each year. The boys have made friends there and connect often through facebook...ah..the beauty of technology that we didn't have as youth. The phrase "Wow, it's a small world" was something that came to mind for Ken and I as we were walking along the beach one evening when a couple stopped us and asked if Ken was a pastor. We both looked at each other and wondered.."what in the world?"....this couple whom we did not remember, attended a church where Ken youth pastored 8 years ago when we moved here and recognized our faces. This couple only attended that church a couple times, but remembered who we were...amazing! So, yes..it's a small world indeed! To top that off, some girls that Caleb has befriended over the last year or so (they go to the same condo unit as us each year) have some Weatherbee roots in their ancestory. I got talking to their mom and grandfather and found out that we share common ancestors with the Weatherbee name. Anyways, it was an interesting trip to say the least. We truly enjoyed our time away and look forward to making more memories such as these!
